Abrasive Wheels - Banner Of Hope 7"(1983)

Always had a soft spot for "Law Of The Jungle"... could have featured on the Blood On The Cats compilations...

Side A: Banner Of Hope
Side B: The Law Of The Jungle

BANNER OF HOPE 7"

Demented Are Go - Holy Hack Jack 12"(1986)

From Wales... these (P)sickos are still decaying (that means alive in the zombies' tongue!) & kicking....

Side One: Holy Hack Jack
Side Two: Rubber Buccaneer + Don't Go In The Woods

Holy Hack Jack 12"

Purple Things - Kingsnake 12"(1987)

With this 12 " the Purple Things clearly took a more Noisy/Experimental orientation... something they'll develop further as Terminal Cheesecake.
I must confess that I never gave this record a proper listen before ripping it.......

Side A: Kingsnake
Side B: It's Too Late, Peter Gunn Got Hit By A Train

KINGSNAKE 12"

Play Dead - The First Flower 12" (1983)

I intended to post Play Dead's 7" "Break" but it jumps, stubbornly.... try to tell and explain an old little vinyl that it's very naughty to jump like that... it's useless...so instead I thought I'd post this 6 track LP.... and now I may play dead myself for a while...

Side A: Time, The Tenant, Propaganda
Side B: Sin Of Sins, In Silence, Don't Leave Without Me

THE FIRST FLOWER 12"

1919 Cry Wolf 12" (1983)

Always had a soft spot for this Killing Jokesque release... it's a bit scratchy but....
(Check out the archives as John posted their single "Caged" in August 2008....)


CRY WOLF 12"

The Wigs - The End Of The Obvious 12" (1985)

I haven't much to say really about this release. Good (that's debatable obviously!), original stuff mixing Punk, New Wave, Garage...the voice gives it all a true character... with Sting-Rays' original bass player in the line-up (I think!)... you can hear some double-bass on "The Dead"... they released another 12" on Media Burn "Six O' Clock Shuffle"... haven't got this one so if someone... well... you know.... well....

01. 13 Lines
02. If Tomorrow Will Die
03. The Dead
04. Halloween
05. Up In The World

THE END OF THE OBVIOUS 12"

The Cannibals vs. Surfadelics (Run Chicken Run Vol.1) LP (1987)
